Seoul Marathon

The Seoul Marathon, held annually in March, is one of Asia’s oldest and most competitive city marathons. Hosted in South Korea’s capital, Seoul is not only a modern metropolis but also a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage city, home to sites such as Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, representing the legacy of the Joseon Dynasty. Known for its fast and flat course, the Seoul Marathon attracts elite athletes and serious runners seeking strong performance conditions in early spring. It stands as a classic spring marathon that combines high-level competition with the setting of a UNESCO World Heritage capital.
